There is nothing in the world which is not perishable. Man or animal every thing comes to an end one day. How many artists or learners have left their creative work of arts due to deficiency of raw materiel or fall of demand in the market after a launch of a new product.There are so many examples of products which were supreme in their heydays. Take the case of texting, which has lead to complete fall of human beings resulting in crisis in the telecom market, The launch of mobile phone has created a new record in the world of electronics.The old landline is an example of how things have have under gone a change so often. We also have numberless examples of change in Telephone industry. Only till recently the mobile phones were used as simple phones. Now they are connected to the Internet/ WIFI, through which it is connected to every household. Once a mobile phone entered the market, there was no looking back. It captured the market like nothing before . Even in far flung areas, where the people are completely illiterate, they are the owners of latest mobile phone. Who does not possess a mobile phone these days!

The increase in numbers, sometime lead to funny and awkward situations . With the photograph of the caller, you need not even ask for the identity of the caller. Long ago, a person called to speak with my sister, who was very busy at that time .Somehow the caller was not at all popular in our house,The phone was received by my daughter. Immediately she moved forward to give the phone to me. I refused to take the call and told my daughter to hand over the phone to her father. The phone was going round the house when it finally landed on me and I had no alternative except to talk to her. We all wanted to avoid talking to her, but each one had to. What luck! what an irony of fate!!

One day while crossing the gallery of the school where I taught, I happened to cross a few children who were in the midst of some 'serious discussion'. I was curious to know what was topic of discussion. One boy was talking in whispers and others were listening with rapt attention. The boy told the other children that the doctor had promised to give a baby boy to his aunt,but got her a girl. This is cheating. The way the child spoke was really very cute. The poor boy was innocent. Now this sort of ,'truth' if we speak ,does not do any good to the the child. It only harms him. When he knows the real truth how much he falls in his own dignity! Take another case. A guest came to meet Mr Khanna. He was not in mood to meet him. He told the little boy to tell the uncle that he was not at home. The child goes out side and innocently tells the uncle,'' Papa is saying that he is not at home''. Later on how awkward would the child have felt!It is generally the parents who are responsible for stealing the child's innocence earlier than he himself attains it. There are parents who are responsible for robbing their children's innocence early in life. We must try to give a life of truth, patience. innocence ,and good manners to light up their their personality. Make them responsible for their behaviour. I am quoting herewith Anne Frank's words:“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”

Meera was taken by surprise.The thought of marriage never came to her mind.She was just astonished by Mohan's words.She never expected these words from Mohan and therefore kept quiet. Meera's father was transferred to Delhi. Meera started dancing on the stage.She became a very popular artist, After about three years Mohan came to Delhi and met Meera. She looked a complete artist and had become very beautiful. When Mohan got up to leave, Meera stepped in front of him and said',''Will you marry me?

Last week we had gone for a party. The party was held as a send off for their son to a very prestigious school with a hostel attached to it. Then started a discussion of pros and cos of children staying in a hostel. It was stated that the girls were not at all safe in hostels. People were giving real life examples where the girls are very easy targets but are more reserved than boys. They keep things to themselves and speak out only when it is too late.On the other side the argument is that children these days are very smart and can protect them selves very intelligently. In olden days girls were victims of such malpractices. Of late it has been heard that boys have also been made victims of this practice. Parents are apprehensive that boys and girls can adopt such habits in school. Actually these talks are exaggerated. Every where there are are good points as well as bad points.Some schools are good and some are bad. we must make a survey of the schools. We must tell good stories to the children. I studied in boarding school in my adolescent days. I never spent my pocket money in unnecessary things and remained within limits. Till today I am grateful to my alma-mater for instilling in me good manners, so that I can stand in society with my head up. written for BAR

Today we have all comforts of life. we get up from our thermal blanket .Our mobile phone gives us the main and important news of the world. so we stopped reading the news paper.We have become so much dependent on mechanical devices as if we wont be able to live without them.We drive to office by car or scooter with the result that we have forgotten to walk. The result is that we get several diseases. After I bought a TV we are all the time in front of a TV, we have stopped reading good books and children prefer to watch TV instead of going out to play. Several more gadgets, which have taken charge of the urbanisation are contributing to the pollution. Today pollution has become a big issue. Global warming is adding too much pollution, which is dangerous for the whole of the universe. With the winter days dawning, the problem of pollution has increased. In cities this problem is increasing by leaps and bounds. The atmosphere is extremely polluted, which affects the health of the people. Old people and children are more liable to be affected.

The effect of pollution hits the population not only in winter, but the whole year round. In summer and rainy season mosquitoes and flies are in abundance to attack human beings. It is essential that proper hygiene must be maintained not only inside the house, but also outside.Somebody has to take action but WHO?written for BAR Weekly thread 6th Decto 11th Decpic google

Chandra, a retired forest officer was in a reminiscent frame of mind. He had just cremated his wife. The house was full. On such occasions people get an opportunity to gossip. They are more interested in knowing 'whether Mrs. Jain is expecting, whether Khanna's daughter has run away ;such talks are spoken in whispers'. They are hardly concerned about the person on whose cremation they have come. Chandra sat alone in the balcony. His thoughts took him to Bahadur Garh,where he was initially posted. It was a thick forest. No human being was to be seen. After walking for another fifteen minutes, he saw a group of three or four people, so much absorbed in talking that they did not respond to Chandra's query when he asked them about the 'village chaupal' (a make shift office).Chandra moved on.At the chaupal he was welcomed by the village pradhan. They accompanied him to the house, which he had to occupy. He was very tired and went off to sleep. He got up early morning to have a survey of the place, where he was supposed to stay for at least five years. Nothing untoward took place. Life was going on at its own pace.One night when Chandra was about to sleep, a loud crying sound of a female was heard. It was echoing in the whole village, but no body came to see what had happened! Chandra was about to enter the building from where the moaning sound was emanating. Immediately a man caught hold of him and did not allow him to go inside. In the dark, Chandra could not see him. Next day, during day time Chandra inquired from many people but every one gave the same reply that the building was haunted. At night when the sound of crying came, he entered the building and caught the woman who was found crying. He brought her to his house and told her to narrate why she was doing that. She said that her daughter was to get married. On the same day the boy disappeared. Some people say he is alive there are some who oppose this. Chandra consoled her, but the next moment the lady was in his arms....dead, Chandra married the girl . To day his wife died after giving him company for thirty years.
